My hangar partner converted his Pulsar XP for LSA operation. Of course the Pulsar XP does meet all the LSA requirements except for the non-LSA cruise speed of 150 Kts. He tested the cruise speed for 120 Kts operation and noted the engine RPM. He placarded that engine RPM on the instrument panel. He then wrote the Washington FSDO that he was converting to LSA operation. He called the FSDO and they said his letter was on file and not to expect a reply. He made no modification to the aircraft other than the cruise RPM placard and a log book entry. He has been operating his Pulsar XP as an LSA for four years now. (And pays little attention to the LSA RPM placard.)
